-LRB- CNN -RRB- Dramatic dashboard video shows the moment an out-of-control plane clips an aerial highway before crashing into a river in Taiwan .

Thirteen people are confirmed dead and dozens remain missing after the TransAsia Airways ATR-72 , carrying 58 people , veered out of control en route from Taipei to Kinmen , off the coast of the Chinese province of Xiamen .

Rescuers were working Wednesday to pull survivors from the submerged wreck of the twin engine turboprop aircraft . Of the 58 people on board , 13 were confirmed dead , 28 injured and the remainder remain missing .

The astonishing dashcam video showed the moment the plane hurtled out of control above the city 's Nanhu Bridge before crashing into the Keelung River , just after 11 a.m. local time -LRB- 10 p.m. ET -RRB- .

Taiwan 's official news agency CNA reported that the pilot appeared to try to control the plane as it descended , but the aircraft 's wing grazed the overpass , clipping a passing taxi .

The two people in the taxi were injured but in a stable condition after being taken to hospital , CNA said .

Video from the scene showed rescuers in lifeboats trying to pull survivors from the water and the wreckage .

Some passengers appeared to be wearing lifejackets as they waited their turn to board rescue boats .

The military said it had 165 personnel and numerous vehicles nearby to assist rescue efforts if required .

Hours after the crash , TransAsia Airways CEO Chen Xinde extended a `` deep apology to the victims and our crew . ''

He said 31 of the passengers aboard the flight were Chinese tourists , including three children . Twenty-two were from Taiwan , including one child .

The airline had sent the passenger manifest to authorities , and families were confirming the identities of the deceased , he said .

Airline staff have been dispatched to hospitals to provide assistance to families and the injured , as well as the taxi driver and passenger who were also receiving treatment .

Some were also going to Xiamen to assist two Chinese travel agencies , Chen said .

The 31 Chinese tourists were traveling in two tour groups : the Xiamen Airlines International Travel Service Co. and the Xiamen Tourism Group International Travel Service Co. .

Chou Jih-shine , the vice chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation -- a quasi-governmental agency which covers cross-Taiwan Strait negotiations -- said that the agency had informed its Beijing counterpart . Chou added that the agency had sent personnel to the crash site .

Taiwan 's Civil Aeronautics Administration -LRB- CAA -RRB- said the plane was less than a year old and had last completed a safety check on January 26 . The agency did not offer any information on what may have caused the crash .

Last year , an older TransAsia ATR 72 , which was attempting to land in the Taiwanese Penghu Islands crashed , resulting in 49 deaths .
